Suirin is an interactive piece of furniture that is making use of the concept of two of the ancient Japanese artifacts called “ukidama” and “furin”, and the space realized by those two, which is expanded by computation. I developed Suirin to fulfill my vision of a user who can enjoy his or her own creation through physical interaction and to develop furniture that has a healing element in everyday life. To achieve such healing, I designed the soundscape with augmented reality. To be precise, through hearing, vision, smell, and touch, Suirin proposes to the user the feeling that he/she is melting into the water by synthesizing the interaction with computation and analogous interaction.
